Thanks for at bringing what was left of Uncle Ted's brain onto the shuttle boys.

I probably shouldn't have done all those drugs I found in a trashcan.

What's the protip on dragging stuff? Janny is less fun when you constantly have to reengage drag any time you go from push to pull.

Control+click to pull something. If you're playing in hotkey mode (which you should), press H to stop pulling.

Is there a way to report players? Last game, a random staff assistant spent the entire round smashing windows and killing people at random. That's understandable if you're an antagonist, but he wasn't one. And there's nothing worse than being halfway through figuring out what the plant stats actually mean, only to find you've had all your plants smashed, and your body murdered, then spaced.

On an unrelated note, if anyone can explain to me how instability works, I would much appreciate it. Trying to raise the stat on my plants seems to only decrease it, oddly enough.

Ahelp it, fgt. F1 key brings up the ahelp submission box.

Be very aware of the rules and explain your situation as clearly and concisely as you can. Kiwistation generally follows /tg/station's guidelines for conduct, which often means fighting back as a non-antag and getting robusted will result in an IC escalation ruling and nothing will be done for you.

That's always seemed like a dumb rule to me, since a) it goes against human nature and b) if you just let yourself get killed and there's no admin around or paying attention to aheal you, you died for no reason. It also means that people can doubly grief you since if they pick a fight with you but then whip out some super chem or really nasty weapon and kill you, they can just smugly go "he fought back" and not get punished.

I mean, I agree, but rules is rules, I guess.

As a general rule, admins don't want to deal with the all the intrinsic fuckery involved with cases like that, because everyone's going to have a separate and conflicting side to the same story, and they usually have a bunch of other tickets to deal with on a per round basis. I don't know if that's the same case for Kiwistation, but I do know I had exactly the same sort of situation happen to me and it got dismissed as IC escalation on there, so it's just whatever, man.

Die like a bitch and snitch like a bitch if you have to. Or get robust and be the one knocking heads when trouble comes to you.

1. Breaking windows is not a server rule. Contact in-game security.
2. Escalation works like, "clown slipped me so I hit him with my crowbar (only once!! wow!) and then he fucking murdered me". If you choose to do something more destructive than the original harm, then it's on you.

Server seems pretty busted and unfun when Null and jannies aren't around. Stations are collapsing in the first five minutes with the lack of command and security roles, then dragging on for an hour as the last three people look for each other, and it's attracting autistic powergamers who joined from the server list because they thought it was New Zealand and then get mad everyone calls them a nigger and doesn't how to play.

this last round i started as antag and chief and within 5 minutes of the game starting somebody ran into the kitchen and shot me with lasers without warning or any possible giveaways that i was antag, i had not even decided on what i was to make as a cover before this guy went on a killing spree. if sec lets this shit fly entire rounds end up just being retard serial killers meta gaming

The most robust security players are lone rangers wandering from server to server at this point as they are probably banned from several for daring to imprison the admins favorite player for an entire 2 minutes for mass murder. Our kiwifarms sourced security is woefully unprepared as they attempt to fire disablers at cyborgs and megafauna. I will begin playing more security over the weekends to try and help smooth things along.

as some who mostly plays security i have very little combat experience involving guns or robots, mostly brawls with batons and melee wielding crew members, and I find that sec usually is also picked off one by one as they never stick together even during crisis. I am not confident in my combat ability and will always try to talk before fighting if able. I want peoples to think of sec as a helpful and fair department to deal with, and that means sometimes you convince the wizard the play it cool other times i die typing mid sentence. trying to negotiate two players to stop fighting. do you have any tricks for us sec players with less than 20 hrs in the role on how to deal with meta players who out match us?

Personally I think all of this shit is hilarious. You have roughly 12 minutes to do anything before a critical system fails or someone goes nuts, so, uh, get good.

Thanks Sheryl for teaching me how to do medicine. I've watched way too many videos but they just feel counter intuitive because /tg/ is kinda weird. But now I am confident enough to perform most surgeries, even attach new stuff.

I gotta agree with Dyn a bit. Last night it filled up with a a bunch of retards who clearly weren't from around here and they got extremely booty blasted over all the nigger words getting thrown around.

It was pretty funny.

Welcome to real no-admins hours. Enjoy your stay.

It's on the hub. I'll try to get more US hour autists on board. Knowing what times and round #s problems happen there are no admins on for will help.

Why in God's name would you put it on the hub? That just attracts shitters.
